Chapter 2 A Day in the Life of Remus' Brother

Oh!? I wonder who I'm talking about? Wanna say this that ships will probably not gonna occur in here since I wrote this for me and a friend's enjoyment and he's not the biggest fan of side shipping something to do with shipping Thomas with himself or not enjoying the romance genre much in general. (I kinda forgot)

In the morning Roman woke sprawled out on the couch with Garfield in his arms and rolling off and landing on the fat cat.

'Thanks Gar' Roman moans lazily venturing up and over to the kitchen island with a blue thin blanket wrapped around his shoulders. Looking down at a plate of peaches and a note is left there from his long gone roommate.

'Hey Roman I left some peaches in a-peach-iation for last night, it was fun. Also some extra coffee in the pot if you want it. From Patton' Roman smiled as he to munch on the peaches while he starts to actually look at his new place.

It's filled with plushies, photos and memorabilia from a time that he'd had to guess was Patton's past. Following down the hall he passes the bathroom and two of the bedrooms at the end he sees a window behind a little reading nook sitting at most two, soon after opening a gust of warm air blows Roman exits the window onto the steps that lead out to the roof. A beautiful view on the with not many tall buildings surrounding it towards the east.

'This would be an amazing place to watch the sunrise.' Roman hummed to himself as he soon looked down to see the park close by and allowed the most amazing view, he needed to go there maybe Patton and him could go there? Roman started to descend the stair and back into the window and continued to explore.

The house was warm and cozy, even if it wasn't the most open space he felt as if the wall were giving him a nice kind embrace. Coming in from the end of the hall and to the left was his room he hadn't been in the room much or even looked too much into the place when he placed his down payment, so when he entered the room and actually looked at it, it felt empty... nothing was there, white walls and boring old wooden floors nothing special there. He remembered his old room from his mom's house; the walls were covered in rainbows glitter and gold not to mention all the posters and memorabilia from his past performances, activities and achievements. His mother was so proud when he came to her with his very own plan to renovate his room and a finished budget and a list of ways to earn it. It took a year but in the end he was proud for a preteen.

Looking back at it most of the wall was pretty bland other than the decor and pictures that adorned them, maybe the landlord didn't allow the tenants to paint their wall, no Remus posted that he painted his i'll need to ask Patton if i could later.

It was getting to be noon and the warmth was evaporating into the atmosphere and quickly being replaced with scorching heat. Drawing a crop top and booty short Roman 'ventures out since he needed to find a job, nearly forgetting his resume and keys on his way out the door in the process, but hey nobody's perfect.

Roman was bouncing along the road along to the music in his buds passing by each person with a smile and a wave till he stopped at the local theater.

'Hey bro!!!' a young man jumps onto Romans back nearly strangling him in the process.

'Remus... you're supposed to be at the college now, right? What are you doing here?! I thought you said they'd kick your ass to Pluto if you can 5 miles within the block.

'Yeah,well I followed you and that only applies to showing nights. when I'm drunk, high, stoned, naked or not a part of or trying to be in the performance. And right now is not any of those things so I can be here all I wanna think I'd rather be and the strip club in all honesty it's way too early for me to do anything of this stuff let alone even thread the needle.' Remus cooed loudly however that is possible.

'Okay then how about we get some coffee and talk and I'm confiscating that liquor little one you're not even 21 yet and you already smell like a drunk old man who stumbled into the dumpster behind the bar out back.' he remarked back.

'Aw don't talk about Dave like that he likes our dad.' Remus remarked finally getting off Romans back only to grab him and put his arm around the back of his neck smiling mischievously.

'Yeah, but only when he's sober.' Roman hummed

'So you're alright!' Remus screamed at the top of his lungs they started to laugh,

'But first' Roman said, disappearing into the theater once the doors opened and Remus had started getting hysteric, clenching his stomach and rolling on the ground.

Looking around the entrance reminded him more and more of an old of the classic red and gold theater from the movies instead of the brand new one his his old town it was nice and all but it felt stiff. Roman quickly glanced over to a bulletin board on the wall with audition papers and how to become a member and such, him soon being engrossed into each and every sheet.

'Hello?' A man from behind the counter approaches Roman tapping his shoulder

'You must be new in town.' Roman turns around to an old man in a denim jacket and leather pants looking or more like examining him.

'And an actor, or a costume designer maybe I'm Roger from the box office.' He smiles with an outstretched hand.

'Roman, and yes I'm new and an actor my younger brother on the floor out there is the costumer in our family of theatrics.' Roman says giving a bow.

'Ah... how much are you like... Remus? If I may inquire' Roger questioned with his face all scrunched up from the sound outside that Remus' making.

'Were complete opposites in most ways you need not worry about any completely absurd antics coming from me.' Roman turning to the door hearing a bit more laughter

'Well we do welcome some completely absurd antics on occasion' Roger smiles

'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! ROMAN!!!' Remus screamed.

'I think you better deal with that, but here is my email and our website if you're ever interested in being a part of any performances all necessary scripts and dates are on the website. The sign up sheets are here on this board and if you need anything else you could talk to Me or any of the long term members who are again on the website hope to see you on the stage soon.'

'Thank and that must be rehearsed you act?' Roman grinned on his way out the door to his

weird, weird brother.

'A bit on the side, but then I found the beauty of watching instead of being in the performance and just couldn't stop.the magic is powerful.'

'Agreed' Roman opens the door to find a young woman hitting the large man child again and again.

'Okay what did he do this time Remus says your sorry' Roman says with a parental tone.

'I did nothing!' Remus cries, gaining no sympathy from his older brother.

'He's a pervert!!!' the girl says, seeming to be experienced with the man's escapades.

'Yes and I believe everyone here knows that so would you mind telling me what's wrong and how i may be of assistance to fix my baby brothers actions.'

'Roman believe me I haven't done anything to her today'

'But yesterday?' Roman says unimpressed

'I stole her bra during her costume change an wore it for the rest of the day.' Remus says with a gigantic grin across his face.

'REMUS!!! That is not ok!' Roman yells 'How about this' Roman grabs Remus' wallet and hands over a card and a little bit of cash. 'Hold onto this till you think his punishment has sufficed, but you do eventually need to give it back after about 2 months in kinda stops working and he'll just get a new one i would recommend about 2 weeks for what he did and here's some money for buying a new bra because I don't think you'll want it back if we do find it.' satisfied the girl leaves.

'That's bro what did you give her?' Remus questions after hugging his brother.

'Your fake ID and we're going out for food now, on your dime.' Roman starts to walk away waving the confiscated wallet in the air.

"WhAt!!! noOoOOOooOOOooOooOOo!!!' Remus starts to run after Roman begging for something cheap.
